Cusco Strut Bar OS Front 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza 2.0L non-WRX & 2013-2017 Crosstrek
The Cusco Strut Bar OS Front bolts across the front strut towers to stiffen chassis rigidity on 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza 2.0L non-WRX sedans and hatchbacks plus 2013-2017 XV Crosstrek models. This direct-fit brace minimizes body roll and strut deflection for sharper turn-in and stable cornering.
